RT 2014-02-11Eleven days after the 2011 US elite forces raid that resulted in the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the head of US special operations ordered the destruction of all photos of the corpse or for them to be given to the CIA, new evidence shows.

The disclosure was revealed Monday in an email obtained and released by non-profit legal group Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The heavily-redacted email was sent by Admiral William McRaven, head of US Special Operations Command, to subordinate officers on May 13, 2011, instructing them that any remaining photos of Bin Laden’s body must be destroyed or handed over to the CIA. Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by the special operations team commonly known as Seal Team Six during Operation Neptune Spear.

In the email, addressed to “Gentlemen,” McRaven wrote, “One particular item that I want to emphasize is photos; particularly UBLs [Usama Bin Laden, as US military referred to him] remains. At this point – all photos should have been turned over to the CIA; if you still have them destroy them immediately or get them to the [redacted].”

- The order to purge the photos came 11 days after the conservative government transparency organization Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request with the Defense Department seeking “all photographs and/or video recordings of Usama Bin Laden taken during and/or after the U.S. military operation in Pakistan on or about May 1, 2011.”

Judicial Watch finally accessed the McRaven email as a result of a June 7, 2013 FOIA request and a subsequent lawsuit against the Defense Department that sought the materials.

The group notes that the first time McRaven’s order was mentioned came during a 2011 draft report by the Pentagon’s inspector general focusing on any special treatment afforded to filmmakers working on “Zero Dark Thirty,” the award-winning 2012 film about the hunt for bin Laden after the September 11, 2001 attacks. No mention of the order was made in the inspector general’s final report.

Judicial Watch eventually filed FOIA lawsuits against both the Defense Department and the CIA, arguing that federal law prohibits the “concealment, removal, or mutilation generally” of government records.[...]

Pakistan TV Exposes bin Laden Killing Hoax

Mohammad Bashir, Abbottabad resident
and neighbour to the alleged "compound" of Osama bin Laden, gives his
eyewitness account of what he saw happen on 2 May 2011 (local time),
when - according to the official story - US Navy SEALs assassinated
Osama bin Laden.

In this interview, soon after the event, with a
Pakistan national TV station (Samaa.tv), Bashir gives an account which
fundamentally contradicts the official story.

According to Paul Craig Roberts:

This
interview of an eyewitness to the entire event is powerful evidence
that the Obama regime's story of the killing of Osama bin Laden and his
burial at sea is a hoax and a lie. Pakistani Samaa TV confirms that
Bashir is who he says he is and that he lives next to the alleged bin
Laden compound. Samaa TV also confirms that neighbors knew the residents
of the "compound." There has never been any mention of the Bashir
interview in the presstitute media.

A website in the UK,
themindrenewed.com, that downloaded the video from the link in my
original report of the Pakistani TV interview with Mohammad Bashir
originally posted the interview with the original English subtitles. You

"Among more serious methods such as waterboarding, which was classified as torture by United Nations special rapporteur on torture, Juan Mendez, in 2010 – it has also been reported that the US military has been blasting other loud bands into the cells of detainees – including Metallica, Nine Inch Nails – but also Queen and Sesame Street."

A Delaware jury found a prominent pediatrician and bestselling author guilty on Thursday of endangering his stepdaughter in a trial featuring testimony that he subjected the girl to a form of waterboarding to punish her.[...]

Dr. Melvin Morse, an author on near-death experiences who has appeared on "Oprah" and "Good Morning America," could face up to 10 years in prison.

Morse went on trial in late January on charges of child endangerment dating back to July 2012, when his stepdaughter was 11 years old. Prosecutors accused him of preventing the girl from bathing, suffocating her and keeping her in her room without access to a bathroom.
